An Odessa man was arrested Saturday after allegedly endangering a child and assaulting a woman, according to a press release.

Domonick McGee, 20, was being held on a state felony charge of abandoning or endangering a child, two Class A misdemeanors -- assault causing bodily injury (family violence) and criminal mischief.

Odessa police were dispatched at about 9 p.m. Saturday in reference to a domestic disturbance.

The investigation revealed that a woman and McGee got into an argument, and he prevented her from walking out the front door, according to the press release.

McGee ran up to her and grabbed a car seat bearing a 3-month-old. McGee then jerked the car seat and swung it around, placing the infant in immediate danger of serious bodily injury, according to the press release.

When McGee attempted to choke the woman, she ran to a nearby apartment and asked them to call police, according to the press release.

While waiting for the police to arrive, McGee allegedly struck her in the back of the head with a closed fist, causing bodily injury. McGee then used a knife to scratch her vehicle and attempted to stab the tires, according to the press release.

McGee was arrested and transported to the Ector County Law Enforcement Center.
